Tierra Sagrada:
Whether you call Lake Atitlan Home or whether you are a traveler who admires her great beauty - there is one thing that we can all agree upon:
Lake Atitlan, the volcanoes and villages that surround it - are all:
Tierra Sagrada: The Sacred Lands
This sacred place, that we all have had the privilege to have ties too: it is a place for guidance, healing, meditation, transformation, and reset.
It is not only an invitation for us to reset our beliefs, our habits, or mindsets - but also our heartsets.
It is also an invitation for us to reset the way we do economy & community. It is a place that gives us the invitation to create bridges instead of barriers.
We at Tierra Sagrada - have an exciting new announcement to make.
We are creating a booking company - similar to Air-B-N-B, but with a twist.
That twist is not just a twist.
First it is an unraveling - you know those huge fees and taxes that Air-B-N-B chargers - whether you are a homeowner or traveler - one thing we can also all agree upon - is that we do not like all of those extra chargers.
So the first thing we are doing - unraveling finances from going to big corporations - going to businesses trying to suck every last drop of dinero out of users on both ends of the game.
The next thing we are then doing - is twisting funds around community projects making a difference - we are helping to support and hold up - the heart of Lake Atitlan - the projects that are helping to save and preserve the land, the culture, the humans, and the animals of Atitlan.
Imagine what if homeowners were able to keep more of their booking profits?
Imagine that at the same time - fees that were charged to home owners - were then funneled into community projects instead of corporate pockets.
That is the magic of Tierra Sagrada - A booking company that helps you to book out your rooms, your home, your hotel, your apartment - for a fraction of the cost that Air-B-N-B charges.
As a traveler, imagine how good it would feel to book your accommodation from a community of homeowners who are dedicated to supporting local musicians, saving street dogs, preserving land, creating conservation projects, feeding local families, educating children…
Well, you are not going to have to only imagine… because that is exactly what Tierra Sagrada is bringing to the San Marcos Community & Lake Atitlan.
We welcome you to join the Tierra Sagrada Community!

A closer look at Tierra Sagrada….
Tierra Sagrada is a revolutionary platform. When you book your next short stay, long term stay, or vacation with Tierra Sagrada you will have the satisfaction of also knowing that you are supporting important community causes around Lake Atitlan.
5% of your booking fee will go to projects that fall under 4 main categories:
Social Impact & Justice / Atitlan Development / Ecology / Common Roots
Social Impact & Justice:
Providing Education Opportunities To Children In Need
We are embarking on a project to create a community center that will allow children to experience a more explorative form of education that includes movement, the arts, critical thinking, creative thinking and lots of fun!
We are empowering the children of Atitlan to bloom emotionally, creativity, and educationally.
Atitlan Development:
Helping Get Dogs Off Of The Streets & Into Good Homes
Unfortunately there are many dogs in the streets who are starving and sickly. Each dog deserves to be loved and cherished - this means making sure that the dogs are not only rescued- but that they are also provided with the medical & nutritional attention they deserve- and then helping place these dogs into homes where they will continue to get the care they need.
Ecology (Conservation):
Buying Land To Start A Conservation Project
The heart of this project is to protect the indigenous way of life as well as to protect flora, fauna, and wildlife. Let’s leave a legacy together!
Common Roots (Empowering Musicians):
Teaching Children Music Classes
Helping to pass on the musical arts to children doesn’t only help birth a creative legacy - but it also helps to enrich and empower children’s lives in a very holistic way.
Learning music helps children: increase their memory, have the ability to be more disciplined, create a better attention span, raise up their self-confidence, reduce stress, and learn reading, writing & math skills better.
Providing Funding For Musicians To Create, Record, & Share Their Music
Musicians & Artists are the backbone of any thriving community - our goal is to also help musicians go from the stereotype of ‘starving’ musicians - to ‘thriving’ musicians.
Musicians help us to connect with each other, with our emotions, and with creative ideas. They help us to celebrate life.
Giving back to musicians is a way that we can celebrate them and continue to ensure that our communities are filled with joy, togetherness, diversity, and creativity.
We look forward to changing Lake Atitlan together - one booking at a time!

Here is another Facebook Cover photo in a different theme
1. Marketing Idea - Make tarot card style handbills with a QR code for people to scan, linking them to a website containing listings for Amate Atitlan, and some other housing options like Christopher's hotels.
